£22.25
The wine
A Grand Cru Saint-Émilion of great finesse and character, showing ripe dark-berried fruits, toasted cedar and spice. Silky and balanced, the ripe black fruits and Morello cherry enveloped by well-integrated oak. Right bank polish at a very fair price.
The producer
Château Cruzeau
View all Château Cruzeau winesChâteau Cruzeau is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru property of genuine finesse, on the sandy-clay soils west of the town. The blend is classic right bank, Merlot with a healthy proportion of Cabernet Franc, and the wines see well-judged oak.
Grand Cru is the workaday tier of the Saint-Émilion classification rather than the grand one, and estates like Cruzeau are precisely why it remains such fertile hunting ground for value.
